You can call beginIgnoringInteractionEvents when you start the spinner

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginIgnoringInteractionEvents];

and endIgnoringInteractionEvents when you stop it.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] endIgnoringInteractionEvents];

Just make sure your code always comes to the point where you call endIgnoringInteractionEvents, otherwise your app will freeze (from the users point of view).
